A-Trak[Fool's Gold] just released his follow up to Dirty South Dance titled Dirty South Dance 2[via Pigeons & Planes]. To be completely honest I'm not a big fan of the recent mash-ups. If it's a mash-up it better be by 2 Many DJ's or something done with an instrumental vinyl on one turntable and an a capella track on the other turntable. Sure there have been a couple tracks that were pretty cool but those are few in number. Luckily, right from the get go I was drawn into this mix. What better way to start a mix then with Claude VonStroke's song Vocal Chords. He keeps his skratches relevant and necessary just like a master axe shredder filling in the spaces of a song with a few phrases of finger tapping here and a soulful bend of a string there. The EDM feel keeps you dancing and this is no surprise with the inclusion of Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (A-Track Remix), DJ Zinc - Blunt Edge, and Joker - Tron. Another track to note is DJ Craze's remix. I wonder if this is a sign of future productions by DJ Craze and maybe a more production type work with DJ Klever. Deep down inside I wish for a DJ Craze/DJ Klever battle with Plus One/Beni G (Jack Beats). Any hoo, stream/download the mixtape below. It's surely going to be in my regular rotation for the next couple months.
